I just received new genuine head lamp assembly. It contains front portion (lens and bulbs, etc.) and back plastic plate. For the right side lamp, the back plate contains three long adjustment screws (#9 in the diagram for example). The end of this screw is a round ball. This screw is clipped into the plastic housing(hole) area and by a clip on the plastic, which is the part of the front portion. On the diagram, the clip is #11.

Here is the picture.

My question is: should I remove the clip first and then push in the adjustment screw and then reinstall the clip? To do so, I think I need to force the clip back in with a meticulous picking tool and with some force. (If so, what tool do you suggest? The area is very tight.)

Or can I just push the back plate to the front part and simply have the adjustment screws into the holes and the clips will be automatically clicked in? (It does not appear to be. I am afraid to push harder.)


Thanks.
